 Colleen Dewhurst QuotationMovie Title: The Cowboys (1972) as Mrs. Kate Collingwood: Mrs. Kate Collingwood : The first time should be in the back of a buggy with a girl that they think they're in love with. Movie Title: Anne of Green Gables (1985) as Marilla Cuthbert: Anne Shirley : Can't you even IMAGINE you're in the depths of despair? Marilla Cuthbert : No I cannot. To despair is to turn your back on God. Anne Shirley : Don't you ever imagine things differently from what they are? Marilla Cuthbert : No. Anne Shirley : Oh Marilla, how much you miss. [Marilla, commenting on whether or not she'll keep Anne.] Marilla Cuthbert : If she can avoid catastrophe two days in a row, I might have a chance to make up my mind. Anne Shirley : I don't think Mrs. Barry is a well-bred woman. I don't believe God himself would entirely meet with her approval. Marilla Cuthbert : Anne, you musn't say things like that... especially in front of the minister's wife. But, if you left God out of it, you'd have it just about right. [Marilla, reading a letter from Anne away at college.] Marilla Cuthbert : As Rachel Lynde used to say, the sun will go on rising and setting whether I fail in Geometry or not. I think I'd rather it didn't go on if I failed. Marilla Cuthbert : I'm afraid for her, Matthew. She'll be gone so long. She'll get terrible lonesome. Matthew Cuthbert: You mean, we'll get terrible lonesome. Marilla Cuthbert : I can't help wishing that she'd stayed a little girl. Matthew Cuthbert: Mrs. Spencer made a lucky mistake, I guess. Marilla Cuthbert : It wasn't luck; it was Providence. He knew we needed her. Matthew Cuthbert: Even with her queer little ways. Marilla Cuthbert : I loved her for them. Movie Title: Annie Hall (1977) as Mom Hall: [Annie's family and Alvy's family converse through a split screen] Mom Hall : How do you plan to spend the holidays, Mrs. Singer? Alvy's Mom : We fast. Dad Hall : Fast? Alvy's Dad : No food. You know, to atone for our sins. Mom Hall : What sins? I don't understand. Alvy's Dad : To tell you the truth, neither do we. Movie Title: Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel (1987) as Marilla Cuthbert: Marilla Cuthbert : You set your heart too much on frivolous things and then crash down into despair when you don't get them. Anne Shirley : I know. I can't help flying up on the wings of anticipation. It's as glorious as soaring through a sunset... almost pays for the thud. Marilla Cuthbert : Well, maybe it does. But I'd rather walk calmly along and do without flying AND thud. [Anne's deeply depressed, and Marilla tries to cheer her up by offering her some homemade plum puffs.] Anne Shirley : Plum puffs won't minister to a mind diseased... and a world just crumbled into pieces. Marilla Cuthbert : Well I'm glad to see that your dented spirits haven't injured your tongue. [Rachel and Marilla discuss Anne.] Rachel Lynde : It's to your credit you changed her as much as you did. Marilla Cuthbert : Ooo, she hasn't changed that much... not really. It's US that's changed, Rachel. Marilla Cuthbert : Every baby is the sweetest and the best. |
